Time to bring the curtain down on a slightly disappointing quiz - primarily because I didn't think it through and it became decidedly easy once you had the link! Apologies for that, and hopefully those newcomers haven't been put off.
Unsurprisingly, you all got the maximum 5 points by guessing that the final country is Germany. Since that makes no difference to the table from last week (other than the fact you're all 5 points richer) we'll jump straight to the link.
The 4 countries were Argentina (1998), Brazil (2002), Portugal (2006) and Germany (2010) - that's right, they are the 4 countries, in order, to knock England out of the last 4 World Cups!
Remember, not everyone gets bonus points this time around - the first person got 5, then the next 4 and so on. After the first 5 players to get the link, no one got bonus points.
Of course, if one of the players currently on 20 points got the link first, that makes them the winner (and the absence of any tie-break question will perhaps have hinted that this is the case!). So, the final table, looks like this:
1. Hatter in Macc 25 2. Archie 24 3. Downy 23 4. Gazza 22 5= Big Fudge 20 BBLW 20 Calliope 20 Sir Roger 20 9. Epworth 19 10= ifothers 18 Market Harborough 18 12. County Benno 16
Thanks everyone for persevering. The next quiz is better, honest, so I hope to see you all there!!
